I hope you have a good birthday Sunday. You certainly deserve it.
It was wonderful to see you, Mom and the rest of the family so much over the summer. We had a lot of good times and I’ve included pictures of a select few.
You have done so many things for me throughout my life that I remember fondly and countless more that I’m not even aware of. I’m beyond fortunate to have you as my father and I love you very much. I wish I could be there to tell you in person.

No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true.
Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.
What a heart warming message, Michael!
Your Dad should be very pleased to read that one!
It says there are photos, but I don’t see them!
Love, Binky
arggg…..you don’t see them? That is annoying. Dad had the same problem. I’ve checked multiple computers on campus and they’ve come up fine. Well thanks for telling me, I appreciate it.
This is a different format than in the past. Where should I be looking for a link to photos?

[…] did a much better job of remembering it at the correct time and put a nice post at his website here. Sorry Dad, look forward to seeing you this […]

Still no pictures on my screen. Too bad, as I am sure they are great!
Yay dad! What a guy. We are lucky, that’s for sure.
